Ad-hoc temporary record relationship management

A database driven data processing system configured for ad hoc temporary record relationship management, the system comprising:

• a host server with at least one processor and memory configured for communicative coupling to different client computers over a computer communications network;
• a database coupled to the host server;
• a database management system executing in the memory of the host server and managing different data objects in the database;
• and,
• an ad hoc tagging and pegging module executing in the memory of the host server, the module comprising program code enabled upon execution to select an instance of a data object in the memory and persisted in the database, to create in the memory a different instance of a different data object referencing the selected instance of the data object and relating the selected instance of the data object to an instance of yet a further data object also persisted in the database, to store the created different instance of the different data object in a collection of instances of the different data object, to query the collection of instances of the different data object for a particular instance of the further data object, the querying producing a result set of data objects related to the particular instance of the further data object, and to process the result set in the database management system.

A computer program product for ad hoc temporary record relationship management, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:
• computer readable program code for selecting an instance of a data object in memory of a computer and persisted in a database of a database driven application;
• computer readable program code for creating in the memory of the computer a different instance of a different data object referencing the selected instance of the data object and relating the selected instance of the data object to an instance of yet a further data object also persisted in the database;
• computer readable program code for storing the created different instance of the different data object in a collection of instances of the different data object;
• computer readable program code for querying the collection of instances of the different data object for a particular instance of the further data object, the querying producing a result set of data objects related to the particular instance of the further data object;
• and,
• computer readable program code for processing the result set in the database driven application.
